Abstract(in English) With the trend of increasing sector density, hard disk drives are becoming more prone to abnormal latencies caused by bad sectors. It is known that such latencies could degrade overall system performance to a non-negligible extent, even if their frequency is quite low. In such a context, it is profitable for users to be able to identify drives in an automated manner that have more bad sectors, which produces more latenies. This work proposes a method to automatically tune the model parameters of different disk drive products by running a simple random access benchmark. Accesses to bad sectors are detected as latency outliers of trained models. Our initial implementation and evaluation shows that for 3 real-world drives with different latency characteristics, our tuning method are capable of accurately predicting their latency range of good sector accesses. It is also shown that sufficiently stable model outputs can be obtained by running the workload for around 1,000 seconds.
